Banks have revolving doors, you enter, exit, and re enter again, on,a higher rate.
with over 200 banks in london, there are plenty of revolvimg doors..

Throwing stones in Glass houses and all that, hope you learned a lesson today.

yeah, make sure it's your glass house i'm in at the time

[russell]

very well

Turned out I was the wrong person for that contract and we established that fact straightaway.
I could have bulltulipted my way through but that would have meant wasting my time, the prospective clients time and potentially put me in a risky situation should they want to take me on.
Instead I politely declined the work and went back to my current contract which is paying the same rate (just a bit on the tedious side).

Thanks for asking though

I believe he failed to get the gig.

Failure is a funny thing. Everyone fails at some point in life. Like Space. But you learn from it. You learn that it's not your fault. Like Space did. And, well, when I say it's not your fault, it is obviously but I'm trying to be nice. Failure. Failurrrrrrrrrrre. Mmm.

My old boss used to say there's no such thing as failure, only feedback. So I said, yeah but what if the feedback is, 'you've failed'.

You know you've sunk to a new low when you're so useless you can't even get canned!

they need to keep someone on to make the brews

Just been told that the two new starters for next week will now not be joining and they are reviewing all contractors rates, contracts and projects.

Client has said 'Cost cutting. Don't worry MF, you won't be affected'
I said, 'Nah, I'm happy to go, do you want me to go,I'll go now'

Still here.

Fingers crossed.

You've obviously never heard of Infosys.

I've worked with them a few times. Fill yer boots if you're a contract tester at the users' end. Be careful though, clientco might go bust trying to implement Finacle, and leave you out of pocket, as happened to me. Important to know when to jump.

I'm sorry but I think you're talking out of your arse. Many people will be expecting things to go bad but you endeavour to escape to a safer department / project. Credit Risk Register reporting is something that most people would call a safe area because its BI which is currently done close to the end customer / user as it requires local Business knowledge that is hard to explain to outsourced resources.

If BI reporting is moving offshore I would be very concerned that the rest of the BI workflow will rapidly follow and the quality of information reported will be to the standard you expect from Captain Bob. Of course it will be years until the consequences are noticed but ho hum.

Of course it will be Milliseconds until the consequences are noticed by the local business but years before the C level staff realise its a mistake but ho hum.

Been sat on my ass all week. I've had a renewal but the project I was back for has been outsourced as well.

Other projects in pipeline at clientco but presently not assigned to any.

Bored.

IR35 risk?
